Scroll down for list of films!!!
Born 1951 Stockholm. I do film, photography, oil painting, and charcoal drawing.These are a few images, including some drawings and paintings. In photography and in fillm I like sometimes to give the impression of the camera having caught something in progress, something that is happening whether the camera is there or not. In some pictures and films that has actually been the case. I dont like the surface of the picture to be overworked or too controlled, I think this always gives too much a sense of the photographer and his big camera standing over things, staging and shaping the whole thing! I dont think the personality of a photographer can be so interesting that we want to see it imposed on everything he points his camera at! Hopefully these pictures( and my films) capture fragments of a few intriguing lives, a private world glimpsed here, but not examined or even exposed, we (the viewers) are not guests and not the hosts, we are just passing by.I hope there is captured here an eroticism that belongs to the subjects, not to a staged and manicured photographic surface.In my view this technique gives breathing space both to the subjects of the pictures and to the viewer, - I think its more fun...
